Don’t over sell yourself by making a long list of resolutions. People tend to make a long list of things they want to change about themselves and they get overwhelmed with the challenges. Once you get overwhelmed with a challenge; you get frustrated and you tend to give up. Well let’s keep it simple. Focus on 1 or 2 things that you would like to work on to better your life. 1 or 2 things that’s it. If by the 6th month mark you have accomplished those 2 goals, you can re-evaluate and add another resolution before the year is done.

Don’t focus on the problem you want to fix or change, focus on the solution.
